Regretably, I'll not be able to fly over to view this exhibition. From the photo samples provided on the museum's website, I saw a few notable examples, such as the superb brooch illustrated by Peter, but I was especially taken by the magnificent 1822 Macgregor broadsword with its artistic silver basket hilt and cairngorm pommel. From what I could see of the blade, it appears that the Macgregor chief used an old blade from the 17th or 18th century for his sword. Perhaps an Xmarker with more expertise and who attends the exhibit could provide information on that.
